Frequently Asked Questions
We encourage you to ask any questions you may have regarding your specific project, however the following questions are commonly asked and may be of assistance:
- I only have a sketch of my design and want to make a PCB. What do you need?
- I already have a netlist - does this help?
- I have a schematic but have not considered EMC, DFT or DFM. Can you help?
- I'm a bit confused; I know I want a PCB designed, but don't know the best way to start.
I only have a sketch of my design and want to make a PCB. What do you need?
This is no problem. Just send us your sketch and we'll create the schematic, netlist and design the layout of your PCB. You will receive the necessary files to allow a PCB manufacturer to make the board, or if you prefer we can get the board made for you.
I already have a netlist - does this help?
This is great - it helps a lot! We can import your netlist or convert your schematic into Cadstar and layout your PCB. You will receive the necessary files to allow a PCB manufacturer to make the board, or if you prefer we can get the board made for you.
I have a schematic but have not considered EMC, DFT or DFM. Can you help?
That's OK! We'll review your schematic with you and advise on any or all of the following: component placement, EMC & EMI considerations, test point allocation and testibility, ROHS compliance and second sourcing.
I'm a bit confused; I know I want a PCB designed, but don't know the best way to start.
Don't worry. Phone us and we will discuss the design process with you. We can look at your needs and advise you of the best way to fulfil your requirements.
